PSYCHE. 



[September 1S95. 



Uhler's catalogue, but it was so named 

 for me by Mr. Uhler. 



4,<)i Aradus sp.? Rare. One imago 

 and two nymphs of this unidentified 

 species were taken from beneath some 

 oak chips on a sandy hillside, Jan. i, 

 1S93. 



50, Brachyrhynchtis lohattts Say. 

 Rare. One specimen from beneath 

 the bark of an elm log, Dec. i6, 1S92. 



51, Brachyrhynchits simplex Uhler. 

 Our most common member of the 

 family. Winters in all stages beneath 

 the bark of red oak logs. Gregarious. 



Nabidae. 



52, CoriscusferusYAnw. A common 

 winter resident beneath logs and leaves 

 of mullein along roadsides and the 

 borders of dry upland fields. 



53, Corisctts punctipes^cuX. Scarce 

 in winter. Several were found with 



ferns beneath chunks in the sandy 

 bed of the old Wabash and Erie 

 Canal, Jan. i , 1S93. 



54, Corisciis sp.? Rare. Two were 

 taken from beneath a log partly buried 

 in the sand near the border of a pond, 

 on Jan. i, 1893. Uhler returned them 

 marked, " new to me." 



56, Melanolestes picipes H. Schf. 

 Rather common in winter, singly or 

 in pairs, in dry upland woods beneatli 

 logs whose sides are deeply buried in 

 leaves and mold. Experience has 

 taught me that this "bug" can inflict 

 a severe wound witli its beak when 

 handled carelessly. 



57, Alelanolestes abdotninalis H. 

 Schf. Mucii less common than the 

 preceding. Hibernates in similar 

 places. Dec. iS-Jan. 11. 



58, Opsicoetiis persotiatus Linn. 

 The nymphs only, with body very 

 thin and covered with an accumula- 

 tion of dust, have been taken in houses 

 in winter. They reach maturity about 

 June 10 when they fly into houses 

 in the early evening, attracted by the 

 lights. 



59' Pygola7tipis pectoralis Say. 

 Quite frequent in winter both as 

 nymphs and adults. Found singly or 

 in pairs beneath chunks and boards, 

 along roadsides and borders of upland 

 woods. 



60, Oncerotrachchis acitminatus 

 Say. Common. Often as many as 

 50 are found hibernating beneath one 

 chunk or log ; preferably those of 

 damp localities. 



Reduviidae. 



55, Sirthenea carinata Fab. 

 Another southern form but three of 

 which have been taken by myself in 

 this State. One of these was found 

 beneath a log partly buried in low 

 wet ground on Feb. 21, 1S92. The 

 others in similar localities in April. 



Emesidae. 



6i, Barce avnulipes Stal. Un- 

 common. Taken on three difl'erent 

 occasions in winter from beneath 

 pieces of rails along the border of a 

 cultivated upland field. A pair were 

 found in copulation, Nov. 20, 1S92.
